In this context emptying the wings also becomes a step in the carving process, shaving the wings out, shaping them, one further step in the formation of a beautiful creature.

The emptying of the wings makes me think of your inability to move and, therefore, be free. Despite this, “The Lark remained.” I think that’s so beautiful.
